"A reading man"

Siauliai - Lithuania


Next to the Drama Theatre.
The sculpture entitled A Reading Man erected in 1983.
The man of the old times, who is standing on a cobbled pavement,
is not just an ordinary person.
Elderly residents of Siauliai may find his silhouette slightly familiar.
A Reading Man has come from the old press of Siauliai:
the same hand raised his eyeglasses, the same irony.
Now it reminds of the old times when Siauliai was a major centre of press,
that it had a few printing shops, and that not far from place where the sculpture now stands
well-known A. Jakavicius' bookshop was situated.
The author of the sculpture is H. Orakauskas.
But now all the citizens of Siauliai think of the sculpture
as the man who's inviting to the theatre.
